Student Visa Processing Time

[sondekitsh]

Hello everyone,

How long does it take to process three student visas? All were applied on 4/2/13.

Thanks.

There is no way to tell. For one thing, each person's case will have to be checked, and their personal details (e.g. medicals and police checks) can be different from one another. Then, how quickly any case goes through can be affected by how much work is already in that particular INZ office when they submit their applications, how complicated the other cases are which are in the queue ahead of them already, and what the working conditions are like at the time (such as staff illness, staff training, etc.).

If you submitted them through your university, generally takes about 2 weeks. No guarantees of course.
